Crush Of The Week #17

This week's Crush Of The Week is...

Ryan Gosling

Okay, so this may be a little 'typical crush' but seriously. At first glance, he may not seem like the most handsome man on Earth but dayum... Watch his films or even just interviews and you'll realise this guy is the smoothest operator to ever exist.

I, for one, have always totally disregarded Gosling as purely a 'rom com actor'... That is until I saw Drive. I won't go into details (thats for another blog post altogether) but, just wow. This guy has some phenomenal talent, it just hasn't been portrayed widely enough yet.

Gosling started off his career in, yes, the Mickey Mouse Club. Who else can you spot there?

The sheer amount of double denim is this photograph is phenomenal.

From there, his childhood career spanned into such 90's classics as Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and Goosebumps (coincidentally in one of the episodes I remember most vividly, Say Cheese And Die.)

The 90's were kind to Gosling, blessing him with a wonderful blonde boyband mop...

And presenting him with the title role in late 90's TV series, Young Hercules

Skip several years and a handful of movies and he lands the movie that made women worldwide fall completely in love with him... The Notebook.

Now on everyones sexy radar, Gosling has gone from strength to strength, most recently blowing minds with Drive and causing sides to split with laughter in Crazy, Stupid Love. He also recently starred alongside George Clooney in political drama, The Ides Of March.

Next up from Gosling, we can expect The Gangster Squad (can't wait, this looks bad ass!), Only God Forgives (also can't wait), The Place Beyond The Pines, an Untitled Terrence Malik project and a Logan's Run remake (which I think will be PHENOMENAL. AHHH MEGA CAN'T WAIT!)

Now, appreciation;

- Pulls off confident, cocky player and mysterious, silent, brooding gentleman with equal ease and finesse - Hes that classic kind of handsome- The entirety of Drive- DAT BODY- DEM ARMS- DAT JAWLINE- He looks phenomenal dressed as a 40's/50's gent/gangster(which I have a total soft spot for)- Even looks good platinum blonde- He breaks up fights. YES REALLY. YOUTUBE THAT SHIT.

LOOK AT THAT SEXY MAN WRITHING AROUND IN THE RAIN

LOOK AT HIM EAT THAT PIZZA LIKE THE SUAVE MOTHERFUCKER HE IS

WHATS THAT RYAN? YOU WANNA COME OVER RIGHT NOW?

HE JUST SETS FIRE TO SHIT BECAUSE HE GODDAMN WANTS TO AND NO MOTHERFUCKER WILL STOP HIM BECAUSE HE SMOOTH AS HELL

OKAY

LOOK AT THAT PERFECTLY COIFED GENTLEMAN GIGGLE LIKE A TOTAL CUTIE

AND NOW HES PLAYING UKELELE AND SINGING GODDAMN

BE STILL MY OVARIES

Because I cannot find a gif of Gosling crying his beautiful face off, I have combined a photograph of him crying with a gif of him in the rain getting all soaking and sodden.
